There will be an increase in the number of cross-curricular informational passages that reference content aligned to the TEKS for other subject areas (e.g., social studies, science, mathematics, fine arts, etc.). While the cross-curricular passages on reading language arts (RLA) test will include topics from other subject areas, the questions will only assess RLA TEKS; students will not be scored on their understanding of TEKS for other subject areas.
Fluency Tutor integrates with Google, making it easy for teachers to easily share passages with their entire class through Google Classroom or Google Drive. For them to access in Chrome, Mac, PC or Chromebook.
Yes, Fluency Tutor allows you to create reading passages from existing curriculum materials or online sources. So along with the 500+ inbuilt passages, you and your students will never run out of reading inspiration.
Once you start scoring passages, you can check the progress of each of your students by viewing a list of their activities, listen to their recordings, give feedback and view data that shows their Words Correct Per Minute and Fluency Scores over time.
In sum, let us read confidently. And when we chance upon difficult passages, use these as opportunities for thanking God that He has made the main theme lines of His revelation clear and has given us gifted teachers and resources to help in all the other cases.
By default, the passage list is sorted alphabetically by title. To change the sort order, click the Sort drop-down menu [1]. Then, select an option from the list [2]. You can sort passages based on their titles in alphabetical order or reverse alphabetical order. You can also sort passages based on when they were created or by grade in ascending or descending order.
Many, if not all, of the passages contradict the interpretation of scripture urged by some that women and girls are prohibited from speaking to, teaching, preaching to, leading, or having authority over men in a worship service or elsewhere.
Each passage or set of passages is introduced by a red-lettered introduction pointing out its relevance to women and girls speaking to, teaching, preaching to, leading, or having authority over men in a worship service or elsewhere:
And the speaking, teaching, and authority addressed in these two passages is a disruptive, non-peaceful type. That is the type Paul is asking the women of Corinth and Ephesus not to carry out. That is not the type involved with the usual type of preaching and speaking. It does not prohibit women preaching, teaching, speaking, or having authority in a normal manner.
Indeed, as seen in the 20+ passages, God asks all to speak and teach. And as seen in the Greatest Commandment, Jesus asks for all to love (worship) God with our all and to love (serve) others will our all. To block women from speaking and teaching men is to block them from doing what God asks and to block them from worshiping and serving with their all.
Regardless of what one thinks the passages mean, there are plenty of indicators that 1 Cor 14:34-35 and 1 Tim 2:12 are addressed specifically to the situations in Corinth and Ephesus for the particular situation for the particular time. For example, 1 Cor 14:34-35 is accompanied by directions for women to have head coverings when they pray and prophesy (1 Cor 11:5) and 1 Tim 2:12 is surrounded by instructions that are clearly not meant to apply for all time or to all people, etc., such as:
Florida Then and Now consists of over 70 readings, questions, teacher notes, reading strategies, and activity sheets for Florida history. The reading passages are written at the upper elementary student's instructional reading level, so they are also appropriate as independent reading passages for secondary students. All of the files are available as PDFs for easy duplication.
Reading can be a tricky subject to teach. As a teacher, you want your students to love reading. But there are so many reading standards for kids to learn. And some of them are downright hard for students to understand. Adding reading passages to your classroom routine is a great way to help kids master those reading standards.
A reading passage is a short piece of writing that can be read in one sitting. It can be a selected portion of a longer work or it can be a stand alone piece. Reading passages are fiction, nonfiction, and even poetry.
I recommend using reading passages after you have already introduced a skill. Passages are a great way to give students extra practice on tough standards, like main idea, central message, and context clues.
Reading passages are also great for review and test prep. Kids will definitely see reading passages on standardized tests and so the more comfortable they are reading, analyzing, and responding to text the better off they will be on test day.
The real value in reading passages comes from using them over the course of several days. Repeated readings teach children how to dig into a text for deeper meanings and increase comprehension skills.
You can select different passages for different groups based on student needs. If one group is still struggling with sequencing, pick a reading passage that allows them to practice that skill. Another group might be ready for a more advanced skill like cause and effect.
You can also select passages at different reading levels or longer or shorter passages as needed. Another way to differentiate reading passages in small groups is based on interest. If you know one of your groups is really into animals, you can select passages that feature pets or wild animals. If another group is into sports, look for passages about football, skiing, or hockey.
This bundle includes 60 ready-to-use passages that provide rigorous, standards-based practice of essential skills. There are five short, student-friendly, passages for each month that are a mix of fiction and nonfiction. I even throw in poetry once in a while.
Flagged passages highlight text from the internet that you didn't cite or quote. Review each flagged passage and add your source citations. To show cited or quoted text in the results, next to # cited or quoted passages, click the switch On .

How does Choice Texts work? By leveraging generative AI (similar to the power behind popular tools like ChatGPT), the team at eSpark can instantly make reading passages for students. Students share their interests, and the technology in Choice Texts creates a reading passage using AI along with assessment questions.
Choice Texts are now available in every Reading Informational and Reading Literature Quest (lesson) in eSpark! So your students in kindergarten through fifth grade can try it out right now, and it will soon be available in their Foundational Reading program. Head over to this page to explore Choice Texts and how you can personalize reading passages with AI this school year!
Paired passages are passages that are connected or similar in some way. The passages the students see in upper elementary move beyond the fiction/nonfiction paired texts used in primary grades. in 4th and 5th grade, the passages can be paired in many different ways, including, but definitely not limited to, the fiction/nonfiction pairings.
1. Both nonfiction with the same topic but varying details/focuses. For this type of paired passages, the overall topic is the same but the focus of the author(main idea, main point, or even text structure) is different. One example is paired passages on pollution. One of the texts may focus on causes and effects of pollution while another may focus on the evolution of pollution over the years.
Another way to integrate paired passages in social studies is to read about historical events through the perspectives of different people. This works well with any war and during different significant time periods such as the Abolitionist Movement and The Civil Rights Movement. The students can read the different perspectives of the same event, compare and contrast them, and then analyze how the perspectives influenced the events.
This one is important. To truly be successful with paired passages and analyzing them, students need a lot of practice. They need that practice to not only build their skills but to also build their confidence and familiarity with different types of pairings and questions.
This was a game changer! The students love this center the most. Each center (the resource contains five) includes two paired passages and a themed game board. The themed game board includes questions from each passage individually and then questions that require the students to use both passages.
